John Cena never wanted Vince McMahon to retire
McMahon took charge of the creative department of WWE back in the early 80s. He was the biggest reason behind the ultimate success of the promotion, and ultimately, in 2022, he decided to step down from his role by announcing his retirement. John Cena recently revealed that he never wanted McMahon to retire from WWE. Speaking with Bill Simmons on his podcast, he said the following;
Vince McMahon retired from WWE back in 2022
“So of all the things he did and of all the things he taught me, one piece that was very important is that no one is irreplaceable. And that’s the truth. The one thing that needs to stand firm is the consumer’s belief in what we do. And Vince has so much knowledge.”
“I think what’s happened is unfortunate because you have this individual with so much depth of field who can still offer things, and we no longer can pull from that well, but it doesn’t mean we don’t have able-bodied folks who can put on creative programming.”
John Cena will also retire on December 13
“So yeah, I never wanted Vince to go because I love him and I know how much he loves the business, but he taught me we’re all going to go. All of us. And he taught me that not only through saying it but through his actions. I was there the day he fired Stone Cold. He missed the date. Got to go.”
After the departure of Vince McMahon, his son in law, Triple H, became in charge of the creative department of WWE, and he has been doing a good job for the last 3 years. Chances are very low that McMahon would ever return to WWE. John Cena, on the other hand, is retiring from in ring action at the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13.
